How Gen Y can be happy – a response to the Huffington Post article “Why Gen Y Yuppies are Unhappy”
Meet Lucy. Lucy and I are very similar. Except that I’m actually happy. You see, I figured out this happiness equation a while ago. Though I struggled with similar issues, I have learned to let go, enjoy life, keep dreaming, and be happy. I’m almost 30 and looking at my 20s – I realize that … Continue reading
